    1972 Maverick Grabber
    After a 20+ year search, I finally found a Maverick to be proud of. Paid more than I wanted to, but, it cost a lot less than my 1935 Chevy Speedster. It's a 1972 Grabber, harvest gold, V8 302, c4 automatic, air, power steering, custom wheels, 46,000 org. miles, interior is mint & the body near perfect. I'll be looking for a NOS deck lid, as origional owner mounted a Wing on the deck lid. I gotta say, after a few Cruise Nights, the ladies like Mavericks.

    Don't know if its the same car your thinking about. This one came up from Martinsville, Va. last year is the story I got. The gentleman lived outside Lockport, N.Y. The car is SUPER clean all over & gets as much attention as my Chevy Speedster which is worth 4 times the money.
